The 2017 Television Season Is Upon Us

4 Comments

Today is the official beginning of the 2017 Television season in America. Returning shows are continuing their stories while new shows are making their first runs in hopes of being picked up for a full season and beyond.

I am excited for The Orville, Big Bang Theory, The Goldberg’s, Blackish, This Is Us, Bull, NCIS, Blue Bloods, The Voice and more. Call me old school but I like broadcast network shows the best because they have to be creative while being under scrutiny of censors.

Television is an important part of life everywhere and there is something about watching the same show at the same time as everyone else in a country. You can’t duplicate that with streaming service.

Happy viewing everyone!

I feel like I am sick whenever I see a TV commercial for some sort of medication I can’t afford. Some of those medications have death as a side effect.

The 19th season of this summer tradition has begun and a whole new set of house guests have checked into the Big Brother house with the theme of temptation. For the next 3 months or so I will be held hostage 3 days a week to see the drama unfold. One thing about Big Brother is you do not assume anything so we shall see what happens.

This is the time of year that TV shows are renewed for another season or cancelled. Networks are looking at ratings, cost of production and other factors in their decision making. A lot of people are nervous right about now and others are on the phones with their agents to get them work. Some shows I liked this past season are coming back while others have gotten the ax. I am hanging on for a few more shows that are in limbo. We shall see what happens.

Yes I still love broadcast TV. I grew up on it and appreciate what it brings to the culture of the nation.

The Free Press Of America A Right and Responsibility

6 Comments

 

Freedom of the press is a venerated right in America. To deny well established media organizations from participating in the reporting of the days events of our government is frankly un-American. It doesn’t matter if its liberal or conservative the press should have full access to our leaders outside of revealing state secrets. The Trump administration is showing they don’t care about making us great but making us ignorant.
